A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a distinctly traditional text-face structure. Strokes show a clear thick–thin modulation with subtly calligraphic joins, and curves are smooth and controlled. Proportions feel balanced and readable, with relatively open counters and comfortable internal spacing, while the overall rhythm stays even across long lines. Numerals and capitals share the same polished, bookish finish, with a mix of sharp terminals and softly tapered details that keep the texture lively without becoming ornate.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial typography where a classic serif texture supports continuous reading. It also scales convincingly for magazine headlines and section titles, delivering a formal, polished voice without looking display-only.
The tone is classic and literary, evoking book typography and established editorial design. It reads as refined and authoritative, with a calm, composed presence suited to serious content and well-crafted layouts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that emphasizes readability and tradition, pairing crisp serifs with controlled modulation to create a familiar, authoritative page color for editorial and book work.
The lowercase shows a traditional, text-oriented build with clear differentiation between similar forms (for example, the two-storey-style construction in several letters and distinct terminals), helping maintain clarity in paragraphs. The overall color on the page is moderately dark and elegant, making it feel at home in longer reading settings as well as prominent headings.
